Pregnancy in patients on haemodialysis (HD) is uncommon and carries a high risk of fetal and maternal complications. Multiple pregnancies carry a high risk even in normal individuals; the risk is higher in dialysis patients. We report a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), who conceived while on HD, and had a successful triplet pregnancy. To our knowledge, successful triplet pregnancy i...

Cervical pregnancy is rare and heterotopic cervical pregnancy is more uncommon ever. Assisted Reproduction Technology enhances these pregnancies. The diagnosis and the treatment which are in emergency can be sometimes difficult. This article is a case report of a triplet heterotopic cervical pregnancy after embryo transfer, and a scientist review of the literature found in MEDLINE. To date, in ...

BACKGROUND: This abandoned randomised controlled trial assessed the effects of hospitalisation from 24 to 30 weeks gestation for women with a triplet pregnancy on the risk of preterm birth. METHODS: Women with a triplet pregnancy and no other condition necessitating hospital admission were approached for participation in the study, and randomised to either antenatal hospitalisation (hospitalise...

INTRODUCTION Triplet and higher-order multiple pregnancies are well known to be associated with increased adverse outcomes. This study reviewed the perinatal outcomes in women with a triplet pregnancy who underwent fetal reduction versus expectant management at a university hospital in Hong Kong. METHODS This was a retrospective review of triplet pregnancies at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hon...

The recent increase in heterotopic pregnancies has been largely attributed to the increased use of assisted reproduction technologies. We report the rare case of a multiparous woman with a spontaneous conception resulting in a triplet heterotopic pregnancy: a twin intrauterine pregnancy and a single right tubal ectopic pregnancy. Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare and potentially life-threatening ...

High-order pregnancies are associated with high morbidity and mortality and the incidence is increased as a drastic complication of assisted reproductive technology. This case presents a high-order pregnancy achieved by transfer of three blastocyst stage embryos resulting in a quintuplet pregnancy including a monochorionic triplet. Following the selective termination of the monochorionic triple...

Methods A 30 year old woman with gravida 1, parity 0, abortus 0, admitted to our unit because of triplet pregnancy at 10th weeks of gestation. She underwent IVF treatment with transfer of one ‘day 3’ embryo resulting in a monochorionic-diamniotic triplet pregnancy. The three embryos appeared to share the same trophoblast, with two of them sharing the same amniotic sac. The two amniotic sacs wer...
